2010 GLIAC Softball Tournament Cancelled Due To Weather

May 08, 2010

The Ferris State University softball team entered this weekend's
(May 7-9) 2010 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
(GLIAC) Softball Tournament hoping to achieve a high level of
success and secure a NCAA Division II Regional berth, but mother
nature has intervened and forced cancellation of the tournament.

Inclement weather and poor field conditions at the
Emerson Softball Complex's Currie Stadium in Midland, Mich.,
prevented the double-elimination conference tournament from being
conducted.

As a result, Ferris State's season has likely concluded as
the Bulldogs hold out a slim hope of earning a bid to the 2010
NCAA-II Midwest Regional. The top eight teams in the final
regional rankings will qualify for the postseason tourney and FSU
was ranked 10th place in the latest rankings poll (May 5).

The selections to the NCAA-II Regional Championships will be
announced this Monday (May 10) at 10 a.m. (EDT) via a webcast
selection show on NCAA.com.

Ferris State is presently 26-16 overall and compiled a
third-place tying 17-9 record in the GLIAC regular-season standings
under head coach Keri Becker.

Wayne State, which was crowned the 2010 conference
regular-season champions, will receive the automatic qualifying bid
to the NCAA-II postseason tournament.
